Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The University of Florida Institutional Review Board reviewed and approved this study prior to data collection and recruitment (IRB201800621). Data collection began in April 2018 through July 2018. There is currently no existing ethical review board for social sciences within Tajikistan according to the Committee on Medical Ethics, therefore, local collaboration was essential. Consent was obtained orally by all participants in this study. Oral consent was used and approved by the ethics board due to the low literacy rates among certain villages within Khatlon Province, Tajikistan. All materials collected during this project have been destroyed to ensure the privacy of the participants given the sensitive information collected per the approved UF IRB.
: Not applicable.
